#1 In addition, the first night we were in Crawford, and being harassed by the SS, they were posting things and getting the word out that we were there alone and defenseless, which may have saved our lives, or saved us from being injured, or harassed out of there.

Did this sorry bitch just compare the Secret Service to the SS?

#2 One just never knows when you're talking about the mind of a nutter. "Reich wingers" is a nice one for the peace loving crowd. She obviously has little idea what the Third Reich was and what it did or else she is just incredibly stupid. That would suggest the "SS" was meant as simply a further infantile slur. My favorite is the "take back our country" line. Somebody forgot to remind her that it is through elections and not the edict of nutters that we govern "our" country. Perhaps she doesn't know? Did she miss the last election? Ah, but the thanks thrown upon all the usual suspects helps put it all in context. The crude PR circus part I is over and even though it was ugly and counterproductive she's happy to have a whole lot of political opportunists of various ilk jump on the bandwagon and paw at her son's memory like a bunch of scavengers greedy to get a part of the prey and the attention. The attempt to get a political 2 point conversion on the disaster that was Katrina through the tie in with Iraq and mention of environmentalism is just the sort of idiotic, nasty and heartless BS you could expect from somebody who'd warp her own son's death into a poltical football and then go as far as to suggest that he'd actually be happy with the circus of the sick and absurd his mother has conjured with a little help from her friends. If there was no need for them in Iraq, having more guard members from LA and MISS home wouldn't hurt but that's a very small drop in the bucket of what is and will be required. The all so helpful 10,000 of her supporters with all their abundant money and obvious free time would probably add more to recovery efforts than the guard members if they were as generous in actually helping and serving their fellow citizens in need as they were in playing crude political games in Texas. She bemoans the twisting of her words though on the face of it, her words are pretty twisted and betray a real underlying nastiness which makes it clear she is largely insincere in alot of the crap she projects.

#6 Sorry, AG.

We got to let her keep talking. In fact, I'd like to get her a show on...MSNBC. This woman is singlehandedly creating legions of GOP voters.

#7 I don't know...I've used the phrase "SS" before. The Secret Service are bastards. They caused my favorite gaming company to nearly go out of business with a bullshit search-and-confiscate. After all was said and done, the SS agent whose idea it was was publically chastised by a federal judge. They're nobody's friend, especially not yours.

#8 Gromky, I'm not a fan either. I dealt with them when Clinton came to visit my hometown. I was real impressed when they ordered me to stand by an abandoned vehicle when his limo went past. Sorry, but I thought giving your life for the prez was their job, not mine.

But in connection with her "reich-wing" statement, I have to wonder if she really meant to compare them to the SS.

They can be jackasses, but the Nazi analogy, if she is making it, goes beyond the pale.

#9 "He wouldn't talk to us... so we must go to him to have our little chat. ... I just want to thank a few people and groups for their support...George Bush for not meeting with me on August 6th."

She continues to frame her charade as a grieving mother that deserves answers from the most powerful man on the planet. And then goes on to thank Bush for NOT meeting with her. No wonder even the Libs are starting to distance themselves from this pathetic creature.

Were you in the military then? (I forget whether you still are.) What good, exactly, did they think you were going to do there?

#11 "There were so many good people who donated money, goods, or services who want to be kept anonymous."
You'd think that big contributors shouldn't be allowed to be anonymous, are they afraid of who may be disgusted with their views? I think it would be good to know exactly who have been supporting this action, knowing the mission statements of these backers to know all the issues on the table. "CARE" type groups come to mind.

#13 By Reich Wingers isn't she refering to Robert Reich the Clinton Guy?

Guess not.

#14 Would you be a GURPS fan then?

Who isn't?

(I own a copy of the 3rd Edition hardcover with a sticker that says "Plaintiff's Exhibit P-1", and have a letter from SJG verifying that it was used in SJG vs. the Secret Service.)

#15 Robert:

LOL! Well, not everybody: my wife is Hero Game's office manager. Evil Steve's company (and the GURPS system) are the competition, donchaknow.

#16 Is there a chance, just a tiny, itty-bitty chance that Sheehan's bus tour will hit an IED? Where are the extremist nationalists? Isn't there someone out there, an expert in explosives, perhaps dying from cancer, has nothing to lose, that wishes to go out in glory?

The Sheehan elimination bus tour's will be a net social gain from America.

#18 Larson's Corollary to Godwin's Law: You can tell just how far to the Left a person is by how quickly they invoke a Hitler/NAZI/SS comparison.

As for "blame Bush for the hurricane" I smell a Leftist talking point.
